Someone complaining in manner having weight (7)
I believe the answer is:
tonnage
'weight' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tonnage that I've seen before include "No agent (anag)" , "Capacity of ship" , "Charge for carrying" , "Measure of cargo space" , "Ship's size or carrying capacity" .)
